I just pasted this from the mailman archive. Anyway, I just updated the firmware and it made no difference. Windows 7 boots very fast not that it means much since it probably doesn't do the same checks that Arch does. Like I said, the drive seems to work fine. I am able to read, write and blank discs with no issues. The udev slowness does not occur when it is unplugged. When I googled "IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE" I found that it is sg_sat_identify that is being called. [ty@donna ~]$ sudo sg_sat_identify /dev/sr0 -vv open /dev/sr0 with flags=0x802 ATA pass through (16) cdb: 85 08 0e 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ec 00 ATA pass through (16): transport error: Driver_status=0x0e [invalid, SUGGEST_OK] ATA pass through (16) failed Basically, I'm out of ideas. Please tell me the drive is not faulty :(
